I'm hoping to do the 3 peaks on Sunday with my 9 yr old daughter. I remember the boggy section from last year and was wondering if anyone has been recently and what the conditions are like given how wet is has been recently?

Black dub moss, after you have come off Pen-y-ghent. If you came last year I imagine you have already seen it bad and probably worse than it is at the moment, as there was a lot of rain last year (depending on the timing of your visit). I was on Whernside at the weekend, and met an unfortunate three peaker who had fallen in upto the waist losing his mobile phone in the process. He was having a fairly miserable time completing the walk.
Did you have a bad time of it on your last trip?

We walked the 3 peaks last sunday and yes the bo is very boggy. We did however pick a slightly alternative route which the guy in the post office marked on the map for us. As we came down pen y ghent and came to a sign post for Horton in Ribblesdale we turned right and picked our way through the heather- you could see where previous walkers had been. I suggest speaking to the man in the post office to discuss the route.

My wife and i completed the walk on friday 15/10/10 we lost a considerable amount of time trying to cross the bog,their was a young couple striding ahead of us,but when we reached the bog he was stripping off to change clothes as he had gone in up to his waist, its quite tricky trying to pick your way through,just when you think thats it you come to another section of bog,its also very decieving ,you think the ground is sound enough to take your weight but how wrong you can be.To be fare we didnt exactly pick the wright time of year to do it,its probably not to bad in the summer time,just take extra care !

It all depends on what the weather has been like prior to your walk,Problem with weather in U.K. these days as you see on news reports you never know what your going to get.I would advise you to carry at least one pair of spare socks each and take care.Most of all enjoy! It is a very rewarding experience.
